Working Interview
A Working Interview is a type of job interview in which a candidate must complete tasks or demonstrate skills related to the job for which they are applying. During a working interview, employers may ask questions that allow them to assess the candidate’s skills and knowledge in the position, such as how they handle certain scenarios or complete tasks. Working interviews can be used for any type of job, from skilled labor to managerial roles.
One advantage of the working interview is that it allows employers to gain an understanding of the candidate’s abilities and solve some of the problems posed without having to wait until they’re hired. Working interviews place the burden of proving their competence on the candidates and provide employers with a better understanding of how each candidate actually performs rather than their responses to traditional interview questions.
On the other hand, working interviews can be time-consuming for employers. They may also be intimidating for some candidates who may not be used to answering job interview questions through their actual work. Employers might also overlook some of the intangible qualities that could make a person successful in the position, such as communication skills or emotional intelligence, which cannot be judged from a working interview.
Overall, working interviews can be a beneficial tool for evaluating potential candidates for a job, depending on the job and the skills being tested.
